FACEIT Pro League Partners with Znipe.TV to Add ‘Multiperspective Streaming’

More big news for FACEIT—this time in the form of a partnership with Znipe.TV to offer “multiperspective streaming” to the FACEIT Pro League. FPL’s homepage will now be offering streams that not only include the mainstream, but every stream from every player competing in FPL.

“The FACEIT Pro League is where the top players within the CS:GO scene looking to test their skills against top-tier competition play on a daily basis,” said FACEIT CEO Niccolo Maisto. “The integration of Znipe.TV’s streaming technology gives the community an all-new way to enjoy watching tier-1 players compete against each other by seeing the action directly from multiple in-game perspectives and provides them the possibility to learn and improve.”

The FPL functions similarly to developer-built online matchmaking, but is only open to top-tier CS:GO players. As such, getting a first-person view of a pro player’s screen can be useful for a number of reasons including learning how to play better and spectating players that don’t stream often. There’s also the added benefit of fans being able to watch their favorite players exclusively.

FACEIT broke news late last week about a partnership with YouTube that offered loot boxes to viewers of YouTube Gaming’s esports streams. The successive partnerships for the esports operator is a great sign moving into 2018.

Streaming sites may not be competing (yet) to secure streaming rights, but they’re definitely competing to attract viewers to their platform. FACEIT is utilizing the competition between streaming sites to secure itself a sweet spot in the industry. The company is using YouTube’s popularity to bring esports fans into the FACEIT fold, but at the same time is giving people a reason to tune in exclusively on its own website by adding in value to its streams—in this case via Znipe.TV’s multiperspective streaming.
